sometimes cool ideas can go to waste just because of the market.
so what's the solution? feel it.
right now is the worst time to launch a project (even if the idea is super cool)
if you're not a big name like ack, it's better to wait for the right time.
there aren’t many projects I get genuinely excited about and actively follow, but Crawlers by @rybinfx is one of them.
> 1111 supply
> [ one phase free mint ] - idk how to get in this one.
> public mint / 0.02eth
the cool part is that you can actually take your crawler to other websites and let it explore them.
TLDR; bullish as fuck
Personally, I don’t like it when a girl acts like she’s entitled to something from you.
You’ve literally known each other for a day, and she’s already saying things like:
“Order me a taxi”
“You’re paying for our date, right?”
That kind of attitude is a huge turn-off for me.
And it’s not even about the money.
I have absolutely no problem paying for a first date. In fact, I’d probably prefer to pay and then decide whether I’d want to see that person again.
But there’s a big difference between doing something because you want to and doing it because someone thinks you owe them.
That’s just how I see it.
should men always pay on dates?
seems like this is a controversial topic lol allow me to share my 2 cents.
personally, i think it depends on the situation
if i'm eating out with a fren, i'm perfectly fine with splitting the bill. but if i'm on a romantic date, it's a yes.
i think there's a psychological aspect to it. as women, many of us naturally want to feel taken care of, and a man making those little gestures signals thoughtfulness, generosity, and a desire to take care of someone. it's not really about the money (cuz we can pay our dinner), but more about the thought and effort behind it.
with that said, i've paid for dinners with male frens before, and i've never had a guy ask me to split the bill either.
i don't think there's a right or wrong answer here tho. everyone has their own preferences and i don't think anyone should be judged for them
i've also heard stories of girls purposely ordering expensive things just because they know the guy is paying. personally, i think that's wrong, esp if you already know you're not interested in him. there's a difference between appreciating someone's generosity and taking advantage of it.
what's your take?
looks like someone spotted the hidden message Vesty left in her latest post.
It decodes to “leave your trace”
I’m guessing this is a hint at the next phase of Trace.
What do you think it could be?
Every Trace starts as a grid.
2,535 cells. each one holds a single hex digit, 0 to f: how bright that spot is. that's all the grid knows.
That grid lives onchain, in the token's own record. when you call tokenURI, the contract hands it to the renderer. the Cipher and the black and white version have grids of their own.
The grid doesn't store letters, dots or blocks. a style reads each value and picks a symbol for it: denser symbols for brighter cells, lighter ones for darker cells.
Change the symbols and the character stays the same. the grid holds the shape. the symbols are just one way to write it.
Trace #1022, drawn from one grid, in 25 styles.
for all new artists and founders:
70% of people on CT are retarded (and hypocrites on top of that)
if you’re trying to build something or launch a collection, don’t listen to advice from degens.
instead, listen to collectors. jump on calls with people who value your time and whose time you value too.
selling art is the easy part. what really matters is WHO you’re selling it to.
target the right audience and you’ll be fine.
happy weekend!
I love when degens can’t admit their own greed and instead make posts like this.
Being passive-aggressive toward an artist who, by the way, never promised them anything.
The same type of people who mint for $10 and sell for $13.
Do better.

The NFT market has become addicted to price action.
Collection pumps → everyone loves it.
Floor goes sideways → people get bored.
Floor drops → project is dead.
Another collection pumps → repeat.
Meanwhile, actual progress barely gets discussed unless there's a green candle attached to it.
Price matters. Obviously. But when did we start using it as the only measure of whether something is worth paying attention to?
imagine how retarded our space has become when people are debating whether some guy made $40 m.
meanwhile, a16z is distancing itself from crypto.
and here we are, still obsessing over whether someone made $40 million.
sometimes it’s funny to see where crypto is heading.
Dima and Beaks are still some of my favorites in art.
But nothing compares to his larger, more detailed paintings.
Just look at his latest canvas release.
Pulled two commons from the @YieldFields_RH reveal😅
Each Deed is a plot of land where you’ll be able to build and produce resources. Rarer plots produce more and have more ETH backing.
You can burn your Deed to claim the ETH behind it. Building fees go into the prize pool.
Can't wait to play the game.
GM to you all!!
started my morning with some table tennis and a walk.
- finished 2nd in a tournament
- got 5k steps in
How did your day start?
at this point, living in a world where Argonauts exist and getting to own one feels like a privilege.
we all need to learn more about market making and how to add liquidity to collections we build or help build.
not about how to find some wallet that’s selling NFTs
We literally have ONE collection doing 7K ETH in volume after all these years.
market making is 100% dead in NFTs. It’s more about providing liquidity and taking care of the collections we build.

I think you missed the point of the post, bro. Bots absolutely impact collection performance. Most collections that perform well have dedicated teams or market makers managing liquidity, supporting bids, and mitigating bot-driven market manipulation.
When a collection has low trading activity for an extended period, bots can exploit the lack of liquidity by sweeping the available listings and accumulating assets at low prices. They can then create sell walls that increase perceived sell pressure, suppress price discovery, and discourage organic buyers from entering the market.
Yes, it’s art, but people also trade, buy, and hold. That’s part of how the ecosystem works. The problem isn’t trading itself; it’s automated extraction that exploits thin liquidity and weak market depth without contributing meaningful value to the ecosystem. This behavior disproportionately hurts smaller collections that are still trying to establish a market, build a collector base, and gain traction. When bots dominate the order book and distort market dynamics, they undermine organic demand and make it harder for legitimate projects to survive.
The issue isn’t automation itself. It’s the exploitation of market inefficiencies at the expense of the ecosystem.
